My mary-sue totally kicks your's ass

I decided to search for some memes yesterday, especially one where I didn't have to just find pictures of past work and actually get to draw something. I found something pretty short, but seemed pretty interesting, especially when you're using my characters.

Mary-Sue Meme by Wazupz

Blank meme.
I'm not joking about the part about me stealing ideas from other mary-sue fics. I really wish I was.

Bonus: here's a sketch of said mary-sue, as well.

The infamous Anaria.

It was supposed to be colouring skin practice, as well as a test to try a different technique, except the colours turned out really blah. I hate having to resort to blues and purples to make the skin interesting, but really, the shades I picked before were just different saturations of the same hue.

From my chemistry binder

Some leftovers from before winter break. I recently discouvered them now when I was looking for some more lined paper for chemistry class. They were done in my art class.

The head was done quite a while ago, maybe even in October/November. Everything else slowly came after it, starting with the girl. I just had this huge animal muscle study session the day prior to painting these so I wanted to continue running with it. I think the red paint looks pretty nice as an accent.

"I want to buy you flowers//It's just a shame you're a boy."

I've been  using flowers in a lot of my paintings and titles for said paintings. 


I sketched on a base for this picture first, and even crudely shaded it in with pencil. At some parts, I just went over it with a black wash.  And I just touched up some of the flowers on her chest with some Copics to give it that deep red colour I originally wanted.

Semi-inspired by the song (you guessed it) Flowers, by Emilie Simon, and I only say "semi" because it has nothing to relate with the actual lyrics. I was just thinking about it when I did the piece, so yeah.


Painting these pictures made me realize that no matter how less paint I use, I always get too much. I got a drop of red for the top pic, and even that couldn't be used up. What happened? I used to use too much for my paintings a couple of years ago:

Silence

At least there wasn't much worry about warping. Pictures (or at least, when I pulled them out) came out pretty flat.




Drawn with mechanical pencil on paper not meant for paint.
Painted with really watered-down tempura.
Second picture touched up with Copics.

Morning Sketches

Born from when I couldn't concentrate with finishing another picture which is currently in the works.

My fursona.

Are these Yukiko's colours, because frankly, I can't remember at all (though she is my fursona.) Just tells you so much about how much I draw her, right?
Pretty much practice with animals. I don't do them enough, even though I totally went on an animal muscle study spree a couple of weeks or so ago.

If I ever get around to making her a new ref, I think I'll change her eye colour to brown for the same reasons my persona does.

Started off a sketch of my persona to go with my fursona sketch, but ended up as a doodle with my reflection on the mirror next to me as a ref.
Doesn't look like me at all, but for a 5 minute sketch, it's not bad. Need some more practice with realism.
